Spend transparency reports
The government requires fire and rescue authorities to publish spend transactions that exceed £500 excluding VAT. However, in order to increase the transparency of its spending, the authority has chosen to publish all transactions in excess of £250 excluding VAT.
Invoices may relate to more than one budget heading and therefore may be split across multiple lines in the published document.
Purchasing card transparency reports
The government requires fire and rescue authorities to publish all spending on purchasing cards, regardless of the transaction value.
Grants
Authorities are also required to publish details of grants made to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Where these transactions occur additional columns will be added to the right identifying additional details in line with the code.
Publishing formats
Monthly spend reports are published in Adobe PDF and CSV formats.
Past years’ data has been compressed into ZIP files to allow entire years to be downloaded with a single link.
